Which endpoint response rule would block an action on the endpoint?

• A. Endpoint Prevent: Block
• B. Endpoint Prevent: Allow
• C. Endpoint Notify: Block
• D. Endpoint Quarantine: Block

Answer: (A)

This question tests how endpoint response rules enforce actions. In Symantec DLP, when a policy matches on an endpoint, the response rule determines what happens next. The key is choosing the setting that actually blocks the operation at the source. The correct choice combines Endpoint Prevent with Block, meaning the endpoint will actively stop the action from proceeding. The other options either would not fully block the action (for example, offering only a warning), or would quarantine or isolate the item rather than strictly prevent the action on the endpoint.
